They intricate the wits of men with sophistry and illusion that the know not what they hire / nether they them selves what they say when the oration is ended. for a true body / they show a blank shadow / or rather fantasy of a body and all there words hath brought forth nothing less then a body that they promised to deliver unto him that they would persuade. As those that Horace speaketh of: ⟨p. CXCIII⟩Parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. They say he that believeth not there words that they have a true body with: Hoc est corpus meum. Was never well persuaded of the first article of his faith / scilicet, I must believe that God is omnipotent. so we do. But with this reason they subvert them selves. Because ye see in the Sacrament God doth not make the thing they speak / and therefore it is not there / for if he would it should be: it must be a mans body with all the qualities thereof / for Christ hath none other body / but that he toke of the holy virgin / and is always visible and subject unto the senses whereso ever it be / Joan. 21.1. Joan. 1.
